hicksd8 - yes I did mean that, but i was replying to you from my mobile while I was walking.. sorry.

Jim McNamamara - you let me see this in a different way, so i played around with your suggestion.. we use zonepools for our zones...

so I got it working with this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
#
###  Variables
MSG=/tmp/test.txt
HOST=`hostname`
DAT=`date`
ZONES=/tmp/zones.txt

zoneadm list -iv | awk '{ print $4 }' | awk ' length>3 ' | grep -v "PATH" >> $ZONES

while read ZONE
do
    cat $ZONE/root/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root | grep "/shutdown" >> $MSG
done <"$ZONES"

now I just need to format the output for easier reading, etc...

Thanks guys for all of your input, if I did not reply to your suggestion, it does not mean I did not try it....

Thanks will be paid to all.
